Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: No Surrender in Gaza Strip

Yoav Gallant, the Minister of Defense of Israel, has reaffirmed his commitment to achieving all his objectives in the Gaza Strip. In response to a recent threat from US President Joe Biden to stop supplying weapons to Israel if they conduct a large-scale operation in the southern city of Rafah, Gallant emphasized that the State of Israel, its army, and defense system cannot be subjugated. He stated that they will stand firm, achieve their goals, and eliminate threats from groups like Hamas and Hezbollah who seek to destroy them.

Gallant reiterated the government’s commitment to bringing back the 128 hostages held by Hamas. Despite potential consequences such as ceasefire breaches and international isolation, Gallant remains resolute in his mission to defend Israel and ensure its security. His determination reflects ongoing tensions and complexities in the region as Israel navigates its defense strategies in response to threats from various groups.

In an interview with CNN, Biden warned that the US would cease sending artillery and bombs for fighter planes if Israel launched a major invasion in Rafah. The recent occupation of the Palestinian part of Rafah by Israeli tanks has caused the border crossing to remain closed, impacting humanitarian aid and medical treatment for those in need. However, Gallant is not deterred by these potential consequences and continues to prioritize his mission for defending Israel’s security.

In summary, Yoav Gallant has made it clear that he will not rest until he achieves all his objectives in Gaza Strip despite potential consequences such as ceasefire breaches and international isolation. His determination reflects ongoing tensions and complexities in the region as Israel navigates its defense strategies against threats from various groups.
